Rage Against The Machine - Maria lyrics

Tha sun ablaze as Maria's foot touches tha surface of sand On northern land as human contraband Some rico from Jalisco pa**ed her name to tha boss She stuffed ten to a truckbed, she clutches her cross Here comes tha exhaust and it rips through her lungs She's off fast to pasture, like cattle she'll cross Degree 106, sweat and vomit are thrown And she prays and suffocates upon tha memories of home Of yanqui guns for blood debts on tha loans Of smoldering fields rape rubble and bones Of graves hidden trapped up in visions of war I am nothing, no one, nobody no more These are her mountains and skies and she radiates And through history's rivers of blood as she regenerates And like tha sun dissapears only to reappear She's eternally here, her time is near Never conquered but here To tear away at tha mask And now she got a quota Tha needle and thread crucifixion Sold and shipped across tha new line of Mason Dixon Rippin' through denim tha point an inch from her vein Tha foreman approach, his steps now pound in her brain His presence it terrifies and eclipses her days No minutes to rest, no moment to pray And with a whisper he whips her Her soul chained to his will "My job is to k** if you forget to take your pill" Her arms jerks tha sisters gather round her and scream As if in a dream eyes on tha crimson stream Numb as her wrists spit shots of blood to tha floor I am nothing, no one, nobody no more These are her mountains and skies and she radiates And through history's rivers of blood she regenerates And like tha sun dissapears only to reappear Maria she's eternally here, her time is near Never conquered but here Uh, to tear away at the mask Away at the mask To tear away at the mask, uh No minute to rest No moment to pray No minutes to rest No moments to pray No minutes to rest It eclipses her days Just a moment to pray, uh To tear away at the mask Away at the mask To tear away at the mask To tear away at the mask
